Chapter 5 - The Legend of the Zygotes

General Bimas held a meeting with his men and discussed the need to keep their promises to Earth. He noted that they must not fail in supporting the weak structures on Earth. A Committee on meeting Earth's provisions was set up. It comprises of a Subcommander and two Zygotes chosen from the regions of the world. They came up with details of what technology will be needed. Scientists from Eranus were drafted in; they included experts on solar and renewable energy architecture, agriculture, environment, pollution control, governance and ethics, sports and youths' development, automobile, housing and rural development. They came with a master plan of what they wanted done. They came with prototype of the relevant technology they wanted in place on Earth. They were broken into teams to lead the development in key areas of human endeavour.

The team on Solar technology had made their headquarter in Guanxiong, China. They had assembled members of the team and worked tirelessly with Earth's human to work out detail requirements for the solar need of Earth in order to eradicate fossil fuel. The whole region of Guanxiong was chosen because of the industrial state of the town. Zygotes and humans were working tirelessly, day and night to produce replicable technology for the entire world to use. The team was mandated to produce enough energy that would surmount the weak energy structure on Earth. The lighting requirements of homes, factories and offices were the main responsibilities of this team. They began work in earnest with the scientists on Earth, with the Zygotes providing the needed leadership. The deadline for completion was six months.

The solar car team was headquartered in Michigan United States. Michigan produces most cars in the United States. The main objective of the team was to develop fast mass transit vehicles, cars and trains that would be solar powered. Eranus has abundant technology in this regard. Prototype of cars that would be manufactured were brought from Eranus. The scientists were of the opinion that within four weeks, they would conclude work on the models and start mass production. Earth had been bedeviled with fossil powered vehicles that had caused immense damage to the ozone layer. Michigan is known to have automobile engineers that could be of help alongside with the Zygotes.

The agricultural team was based in China, India, United States and Brazil; these nations are the most food producing countries. The team was mandated to research into how food can be made abundant for the human race; research into yield, production, cultivation, processing, preservation, distribution, new processes, irrigation, were to be carried out. The mandate was for three months. The technology will be replicated in other regions of the world because of the population of the world, it is expected that hunger and starvation had taken hold of most nations of the world. The effect of climate change had adversely affected food production. Eranus has the virile technology that could drive the agricultural potential of Earth and make it produce enough to feed the human population.

The nuclear disarmament teams were sent to China,

North Korea, France, India, Israel, Pakistan, Russia, the United

Kingdom and the United States to destroy the nuclear warheads

and thus bring sanity to Earth. This was one of the major reasons

why the powerful politicians were against Earth's invasion by

Eranus. The fear of aggression from the powerful nations has made

nations to hold stock of nuclear capability, to ensure that they are

not harassed by any super powers. There was intense hostility as

the nuclear warhead disarmament team arrived these nations.

Eranus was aware of the imminent hostility that could welcome the

nuclear team. There was tight security at each centre. The contents

of the nuclear warheads are to be transformed and taken to Eranus;

they have requisite technology to turn the nineteen thousand

nuclear weapons on Earth into solid mineral which can be sent to

the sun to give solar energy to the whole world.

The ozone layer and wild life preservation teams were dispatched to the various wildlife parks and the arctic

region. Their mission was to ensure the best preservation of these

sites to make sure the wildlife doesn't go extinct. Of much concern

to the Zygote high command was keeping the ozone layer at

minimum temperature.

The healthcare and crisis management team had

recommended strict adherence to purchase of drugs in all

countries, the production of fake and adulterated drugs was

prohibited; all hard drugs were destroyed. The essence of these

was to ensure that youths are not exposed to the menace of hard

drugs. Pharmaceutical procedures and standards from Eranus were

introduced. The big money-spinning drug pharmaceutical

companies of Earth were not happy with these developments; these

had further brought intense enmity to the Zygotes. The team was

headquartered in California and Massachusetts, as these states

were known to have the most pharmaceutical companies in the

United States

The guns and ammunition control unit were

established primarily because of the incidents of guns and arms

violence around the world. Guns were prohibited from homes,

schools, parks, factories and other places. You can only have a gun

if you are military personnel, police or in the paramilitary. Guns

were voluntarily surrendered to the Zygotes by citizens; a central

depot was created where these guns are destroyed. It was a new

order entirely on Earth, there was excitement everywhere

especially with the control established on guns and ammunitions.

Earth had tried without success to legislate on guns control, but the

greedy politicians connived with arms manufacturers such that

legislation on arms control never sees the light of the day. To this

end, the Zygote command had ensured adequate security of lives

and properties all over the world. Such were the determination of

the Zygotes that they ensured that the purpose for which they came

to Earth was not jeopardized; they kept their words and decided to

keep their promises to Earth, even in the face of rising tension,

riots, rebellion and disobedience on Earth, orchestrated by the

greedy politicians and business opportunists.

The Zygotes high command had gathered reports on

the progress made so far on promises made to Earth. The Solar for

homes and offices were ready; Eranus had helped to improve the

technology tremendously. Fifty million units of solar panels of

various capacity were installed, community large solar machines

were produced within the given timeframe. Once installed, it could

power the entire community; it has capacity for the number of

people expected to live in a given community. For instance, it has

capability to service the smallest population of five hundred to two

million in a community. It comes in sizes, dimension and

capability. Census was conducted to know the energy requirement

of each community, after which the requisite solar energy was

deployed. The census took cognizance of industrial layout, offices

and other high calibre areas where there is high demand for energy.

These units were sent to all the nations of the world. It was cost

effective, ozone layer friendly and maintenance free. It relies

entirely on the blazing power of the solar system. And so it was

that homes, offices, factories were powered on solar system. It was

a moment of joy all over the world as this feat has never been

witnessed in the history of human existence.

The centre for the development of solar cars, trains,

helicopter, aeroplane had concluded its work; fifty million

units of electric cars and solar panel driven vehicles had

been produced. Mass transit trains of fifteen million units, three million units of helicopters were produced and distributed worldwide. It was a feat never witnessed in the history of mankind. These units were delivered free of charge to these countries, based on need. Payment will be made gradually as people make use of the facilities through their salaries for those who prefer outright purchase and payment for fares for those who would prefer the public transport facilities.

The agricultural team had made immense progress

as varieties and new species of vegetables were introduced.

Improved farming techniques coupled with high yield of produce

made possible by research and development contributed

significantly towards the gains on agricultural revolution.

Significant improvement in the area of production, cultivation,

preservation of food item was explored and improved upon. The

technology developed was quickly transferred to all nations of the

world. Improved varieties of seedlings were sent alongside

Cultivated varieties were sent to drought prone regions in the first

instance. Zygotes around the world were in charge, directing

new work ethics and giving direction to the human race on what

needed to be done with regards to agriculture; the effect was been

felt tremendously all over the world. There was abundance of food;

silos were built to receive the excess production; these were

preserved for the next

season. The commodity market was booming, traders, farmers,

fishermen and every other person associated with agricultural

produce had real income. Hunger and thirst had been taken off.

Regions that are facing drought had food supply as the improved

irrigation system introduced by the Zygotes had brought about soil

fertility.

The nuclear energy dismantling team had done justice to all

the nuclear sites all over the world. All the nuclear sites had either been turned into a football field, a sport arena, entertainment point, agricultural facility or simply a recreational centre. The threat of nuclear war was completely eradicated as nations formed alliances on common goal which was to ensure the safety of Earth, protection of human lives, validation of human continued existence, health of children, protection of the ozone layer, dignity of the human race as well as provision of basic rights for the human race.

The ozone layer, wild life park and sanctuaries teams were assigned to the fifteen largest national parks and the nine wildlife sanctuaries around the world. Another team was sent to the ozone layer to identify damages done to it and the implications to Earth. Eranus made available spacecraft that took the crew to the top of Earth. It was discovered that mending of the ozone layer has to be done; in addition, measures were put in place to stop emissions of toxic substances. Scientists from Eranus were very helpful as they went with special equipments and solid materials called okuta from Eranus;

okuta is a shiny substance which can only be gotten from Eranus; it has a gummy property which could help bind metals, layers and objects depending on the severity of the damage to the item. It was an intricate

assignment which needed expertise in execution. The damaged ozone layer of Earth was mended. The wild life parks and sanctuary team was divided into groups because of the number of such parks and sanctuaries that we have all over the world. They took stock of the animals and were curious to identify those that were getting to extinction status. Specialists from Eranus were able to provide professional hints on what to do in order to ensure that the animals which are going extinct can be further preserved in order to ensure their continuity through special food formulation.

The Healthcare and Crisis Management team had ensured that hard drugs are destroyed all over the world. Makers of substandard and fake drugs were warned to desist from such practice; if caught, they will be zygoted. Special solar run vehicles were introduced, they were manufactured in the United States of America alongside the solar cars. Earth has doubled its capacity to attend to natural crisis, viral infections, diseases, cyclones, earthquakes, tsunamis and other unforeseen emergencies.

The guns control unit had ensured that all homes are rid of guns and ammunitions. Any child found with gun near school premises is Zygoted. Guns and ammunitions manufacturers were asked to close shops; they were compensated for their investments however. The Zygotes believes that ownership of guns is a sign of weakness on the part of the human race. The Command has noted with dismay the harm that guns and ammunitions had done to the human race. The basic family tenet of the Zygote is that if there is peace in the family, there will be peace in the community, if there is peace in the community, there will be peace in the state, if there is peace in the state, there will be peace in the country, if there is peace in the country, there will be peace among nations, if there is peace among nations, there will be peace on Earth; hence, there's no need to proliferate guns and ammunitions.
